CoSy
MidSummer Mountain Mela 2013

Enjoy
an afternoon by Pike Forest , just north of Woodland Park ,
celebrating the Summer
equivalent of
Groundhog Day

Libertarian
rules

Going to be a laid back MMM . Just going to clean
up what I can and smoke a turkey , lay in some booze & munchies
, and open the gate . Come and enjoy an afternoon at altitude
.

This year I've been too
busy to get to get away from my screen and enjoy the summer sun or get
any much needed outside work done . ( So if you've got a jones
to do some chain sawing , please
come and indulge yourself . )

The main goals which have been consuming my time are

creating a power point presentation for the
October Pikes Peak
Economics Club meeting on How to Calculate the Temperature
of a Radiantly Heated Colored ball -- like our earth .

making progress on 4th.CoSy
so I'll have something for show-and-tell at this year's Minnowbrook
array programming language implementers conference in September in the
Adirondacks .

I'm planning to get to New York City the Tuesday before Minnowbrook to
"debut" my power point "out of town" at the Manhattan
Libertarian Party monthly meeting .

I drove out to my 50th reunion at CulverMilitary
Academy in Indiana in May . Impressive school , impressive
classmates . I much enjoyed sitting in on a calc class and
meeting Nick Counts , head of the math department Most interesting
observation : A screen is pulled down in front of the blackboards and a
tablet is passed around to students rather than having them go to the
board . Didn't manage to meet the science and physics faculty
, which I feel is unfortunate because they appear to be captured by the
catastrophic anthropogenic global warming nonscience .

Right before the reunion , the motherboard in my desktop popped .
It consumed a couple of weeks when I got back upgrading to a
new 22nm 4-core x86 chip and mobo and 8gB DDR3 memory . Turns
out Windows Vista won't run on the new hardware and it was a pita
moving to Windows 8 . Cost a LOT of time . But it is faster
now .

So , if you're in the State , drop on up , relax and chat ,
see the salamander I pulled out of our well , or wander our dozen acres
. If you've a suggestion , or want to RSVP just comment below
